- Abstract
However, re-examination of disease origins, in part aided by rapid advances in genetic and other classification techniques, led to the realization that observed diseases were in many cases a result of exotic pathogens or anthropogenic impacts (Meager and Meyer, [32]; NPS, [35], [36]; Wobeser, [54]). Although research has shown that a decrease in biodiversity often results in increased disease risk (Civitello et al., [6]; Keesing et al., [27]; Orrock et al., 2011; Johnson et al., [22]; Johnson and Thieltges, [23]; Johnson et al., [24],[25]), climate change could also decrease the prevalence and geographic extent of some diseases. Historically, disease in free-ranging animals was considered a natural process inherent to the functioning of a park ecosystem, and the NPS did not routinely intervene or attempt to manage disease impacts unless overt public health impacts existed (Sellars, [44]).
